Get on one and find out. Seriously though they get there a lot faster and have a lot of punch. Usually they are a bit faster top end as well.

 

Hm cant be a crazy amount though since their capped, anyway i regret not buying 1000cc cylinders and pistons for my 800 machine since i needed new ones anyway.

 

It's not about top speed, it's about how fast you get there if desired. It's also about having the extra power with just a punch of the throttle when needed. Some people buy a 1000 and never get close to utilizing all the power they have available, some folks like me would never consider buying anything less than a 1000 because I love having it when I want it.

Newer ones also limited at higher than 68 also depending on the model. Think my XTP was set to 76 when purchased and my wife's 850 XMR is 65.

 

I have a 22 570 xt I hit 68 on it on the backroad I live on. I’m sure the bigger cc machines get there quicker though.

 

Interesting, thanks for your reply. Does it take awhile to get up to speed with your 570? Was just driving my 650 before and i can hear a slight squeal when reving, always something lol.

 

 

yep! it sucks how their all locked to pretty much the same max speed but then again it could be due to liability issues. I also have a polaris magnum 330, max speed is 50mph takes about 3 minutes to get up to speed lol.

 

Haha. A friend of mine had a 325 was not a speed demon by any stretch. I couldn’t imagine an 850 or 1000 in terms of how hard they must pull.

 

My thought is too much is not enough.
TURBO SPORTSMAN XP1000 with E85
0-60 in 3.9 seconds and still not good enough.

 

Well I guess I'm just the type to not care how fast it can get up to speed, I just think its dangerous seen too many people speed up and hit a tree or something, I aint gonna be one of them but thanks for the exclamation, also does higher CC engines use more gas when running at the same speeds? For example, a 650cc driving at 40 miles an hour vs a 1000cc running a 40 miles an hour?

 

In four years of riding my 450 I never wished the motor was bigger. Fuel consumption is nice n low. No need to carry jerry cans.

 

Is it possible to upgrade the cylinder size and piston without coding or snything? Is the 450 single cylinder

 

If you do 2 up riding, the more torque the better. I have a 2006 max 400 and 2011 max 500 and it is nice the little extra power for the added weight. I had a 2013 650 xt for a summer and I think the 650 was a sweet spot for power. I haven't tried a 570 so that might be a good all around power option for 80% of riders.

 

more torque for plowing,getting out of mudholes,getting anywhere faster,towing anything,bigger tires without a clutch job,there is no downside to higher hp/torque.I'm seriously considering trading in for the new outlander xt-p to match my commander,but the wife had put her foot down on that idea for now.she is planning a month long trip to Italy so no more toys for a while.

 

It will also be beneficial come trade-in / sale time 👍.

 

What are you looking to do with the 450 ?
I ask because earlier you mentioned that all out speed / performance isn't your cup of tea.

 

No, i dont own a 450, asking for him if its possible.

 

I would never use an ATV for top speed.

Bigger displacement means more torque, more power, more acceleration, bigger tires with more ground clearance, and the ability to climb bigger hills. Pretty logical stuff for an ATV.
